LINCOLN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CORP 10-Q

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION (a) On November 4 , 2022, the Company terminated the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of November 14, 2019, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), with its lender, Webster Bank, National Bank, as successor-by-merger to Sterling National Bank (the “Lender”). The Credit Agreement, as originally entered into, provided for various loans but, pursuant to certain amendments, had been modified such that only the Revolving Loan in the principal amount of $15.0 million remained in place. The Company was not in default under the Credit Agreement nor did it have any amounts outstanding thereunder other than standby letters of credit. The Credit Agreement would have matured on November 14, 2023. Upon the termination of the Credit Agreement, all security interests and pledges granted to the secured parties thereunder were terminated and released. Among the issues considered in the determination to terminate the Credit Agreement were the Company’s strong cash position, the elimination of certain fees associated with the Credit Agreement, including the .50% unused credit fee, as well as the elimination of affirmative and negative covenants. The Company’s standby letters of credit with the Lender in the aggregate amount of $4.0 million remain in place with the Lender provided that they are cash collateralized. On November 3, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Lincoln Educational Services Corporation Severance and Retention Payment Policy. (b) None. Item 6.
